RE: Using a Debian Linux SAN with AS/400

Hi Martin,

Yes exactly the same issue! Looks like they want us to buy Tivoli!

So, any ideas on the SAN front? We have an open-iscsi configured SAN
here but are not quite sure how to configure this on I6V1 and I5V4!

Many thanks

Mike

Small world!! With Linux NFS shares mounted on the ISeries will it

allow

me to load tape catalogues from it? We had some trouble trying to set
this up a few days ago.

I think I've looked at this before too. The help for CRTIMGCLG says
the file system has to be one of:
1. "root" (/)
2. QOpenSys
3. User_defined file systems (UDFSs) that support *TYPE2 files.

No mention of NFS. I just tried using a directory on an NFS mount and
it came back with
CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(LINUXTEST) DIR('/mnt/linux/test')
Unable to determine absolute path name.
Image catalog LINUXTEST was not created in library QUSRSYS

Message . . . . : Unable to determine absolute path name.
Cause . . . . . : An error was encountered while determining the
absolute
path name for path /mnt/linux/test. Error number 3025 was received.
Recovery . . . : Make sure the directory resides in a file system
supported
by the image catalog commands. Correct the path name, and then try
the
request again.

Which does suggest it won't work :(
